Page file question.

[ingeborgdot]

I have my page file on drive F. I had it set to a specific size. The other day I had to do a repair and now I go back and have two page files. One on the OS side drive C and also on drive F. It has been over a year and a half since I have done this and I don't do it often can anyone remind me what size the page file of my drive f should be and what size the one on drive c should be? I know I can't delete the page file on c because I have tried and it would not let me. Anyone? Thanks.

Right click my computer, properties, advanced, Settings under performance, advanced, change under virtual memory.
It will list your page files, what drives they are on and how big they are.
I would select no page file for both drives, reboot. Delete the old page files that are sitting there, defrag the hard drives as the page files do not get defraged when Vista does it's optimization thing, then recreate the page file. I set my page file at 1.5GB, but I have 4GB of RAM. if you have less RAM set it to 1.5x your system RAM.

Be careful rebooting with no paging file; sometimes that doesn't work very well.
Instead, set the paging file temporarily on another drive, delete the paging file from the drive you want it to be on, defragment the now paging-file-less desired drive, then set your paging file to be on the newly defragmented desired hard drive.

I have 4GB of RAM and I have it set to a 4GB paging file.
